Dialogue[]
Caption: Thanos' power grows. Having collected the Evolution Stone, the Nightmare Stone, and the Genesis Stone, Thanos' grip on the neck of the Battlerealm tightens by the hour.
Caption: The Illuminati, led by Doctor Strange, have been scrambling to procure Infinity Stones and head Thanos off at every turn. They are losing.
Caption: After an epic battle to secure the chaos stone, our heroes are reeling, but a suicidal plan by Black Panther might turn the tide of war, or at least buy our heroes some time...
Storm: T'Challa, at least tell us where you are going. We can't keep these secrets - especially if it is life or death as it so often is with you!
Captain America: Ororo is right, T'Challa. It's a tactical error leaving us in the dark on your whereabouts... where did you even get this intel?
Black Panther (Civil War): It's too risky. If I bring you along, who will remain to protect Wakanda in this reality?
Winter Soldier: Too many people. We need to get somewhere more secure if we're going to talk more.
- Transmission #1 - Upon starting the Quest
Black Panther (Civil War): You aren't going to give up on this, are you? Captain America: I could do this all day. Black Panther (Civil War): Very well. I know when I've lost a battle. I suppose you'll need to know what we're going to do then? Let me tell you... Black Panther (Civil War): Ororo, do you remember the man who called himself "Killmonger?" Storm: Erik? The pretender to your throne? Didn't you exile him years ago? Black Panther (Civil War): In this reality, yes...
- Transmission #2
Black Panther (Civil War): When Erik stormed my throne room, I dispatched of him and banished him forever. But in another reality... Black Panther (Civil War): In another reality, the man known as Killmonger possessed a power not his own. He used it to overpower my defenses. Black Panther (Civil War): That Killmonger brought the entire kingdom of Wakanda to heel, and those who remained alive had a choice: submit to his rule, or die... Captain America: So what do you plan to do? How does this help us stop Thanos? Black Panther (Civil War): We are going to travel to that reality, and we are going to take the power he used to steal my throne.

Winter Soldier: Did Shuri upgrade your suit to let you magically hop between dimensions? Sounds like you're treading into some cosmic territory.
The Collector: He is indeed, and though Shuri might be a genius, she hasn't yet matched the power of an Elder. Captain America: Eyes up Summoner! The Collector is here! Engage! Black Panther (Civil War): Hold your weapons! Hold! Taneleer is here on my request. He is the source of my intel, and he is how we are going to get to that other reality.
- Transmission #4
Winter Soldier: Are you crazy T'Challa?! He imprisoned us for years! The Collector: And look how well that turned out for me. My generosity in this matter is... penance for my crimes, you might say. Black Panther (Civil War): Taneleer has been feeding me information for some time. Black Panther (Civil War): Without him, we would not have half the plan we have right now... please, we need all the help we can get in the fight against Thanos. The Collector: More than you know. It seems you have little choice, friends of the Panther. Unless of course you'd like to remain here without your fearless leader. Storm: I do not trust the Collector... but I trust you T'Challa. Let us be on our way.
- Transmission #5
Captain America: Hey Summoner, you look a little green - Bucky, mind doing a little training exercise with the Summoner? Winter Soldier: Is that an order, Steve? Should we arm wrestle? I think I might have an unfair advantage. Captain America: Bucky, you know what I mean. Winter Soldier: I'm just pullin' your leg, Steve. Of course I'll have a little bout with the Summoner! I'm always down for a little do-si-do.
